Kino no Tabi Wallpaper: Kino no Tabi: Checkmate

Artist Comment

Just a simple Kino wallpaper. When I was flipping through the second visual book again and saw this picture, I decided to wall it. In keeping with the chess theme
I drew up a chessboard, which took 3 tries to get at a decent perspective. Some color gradients, some texture, and some
pencil-like outlining to keep with the sketchy nature of the original artwork... and that's about all there is to this
wallpaper. It's calm, and unbelievably bright.

'Rakuen'Why: This was the first thing I ever fav'ed on Minitokyo, and it's still a
favorite of mine. Crapmonster's earliest vector work still intrigues me with its blending of tech lines and character
artwork, wolf silhouettes and lunar flowers. Awesome.

it's simple but looks good, I really like the idea, hmz...colouring and textures looks good and matches well, the
perspective isn't bad too. hmz...well...still looks kinda plain ......mayB you could add one or two chess pieces into it
=o.....

A very cool way of walling. Very unique. I like it. Well done. Just one tiny problem, the colors too diluted. Plz note
that I am not doubting your skill. Cuz some people tend to have mistaken my opinion as that. >_<

luv the concept of a chess board and the texturing is very nice as it fits in well with your theme. but the background
looks a bit empty and the scan doesn't seem to contrast enough with the chess board background, but perhaps that's the
look you were aiming for. overall, i really like the concept of your wall and the perspective or angle is very good.
:D

it's not exceptionally bright. just normal bright. like my monitor. :)
the chessboard is really cute and it blends nicely with the scan. is it because of the texture?
looks simple and nice. great job! +fav
